It's obvious that the reason perl lost so much market share for PHP are the difficulties with mod_perl. I would blame here a variation of the TIMTONWTDI concept. There are just too many ways to set up the mode_perl environment - so every server has some slightly different setup and each requires some local guidelines for every developer.
Since the famous "C Programming Language" it is generally accepted that the best way to learn a programming language is to start as soon as possible to write simple "Hello World" programs in it. But there is no one way to write and install such a program in mode_perl that would be guaranteed to work at once on every server.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
